Xu family

Xu Jinwei and Xu Jinen did not return after visiting the graves, nor did the driver, maid, and old woman who had gone with them.

Chen Xin'e immediately sent someone to drive to search for them.

The people sent there went to the Xu family cemetery, but the manager there said that the two young ladies had returned to the city after lunch.

Logically speaking, it should only take about two hours to drive from Shanghai to the Xu Family Cemetery.

They should have come back a long time ago.

I waited half the night, but my daughter still didn't come back.

Chen Xin'e couldn't sit still any longer, so she sent someone to the police station to report the incident, and also notified Yin Heng.

Although the Xu family is wealthy and powerful, when it comes to this kind of thing, only the Yin family, who holds military power, can help.

Yin Heng rushed over when he received the news, and the police officers followed closely behind.

Just as Yin Heng dispatched his family to search for the whereabouts of the Xu Jinwei and Xu Jinen sisters.

Soon, someone spotted Xu Jinwei being escorted back to the city near the city gate. The people Yin Heng sent directly took Xu Jinwei back to the Xu family.

Just as dawn broke

Xu Jinwei returned to the Xu family.

When Chen Xin'e saw her daughter looking disheveled, she immediately felt a pang of heartache and hugged her tightly.

"My daughter, what happened to you?"

"Mother, sob sob, your daughter almost didn't get to see you again." Xu Jinwei only came back to her senses after returning home.

She crawled back from the brink of death in a day and a night.

This thrilling experience was something she had never had before.

Only when she was nestled in her mother's arms did the terror in her heart suddenly erupt.

"Don't cry, don't cry, my dear child. Tell me what happened."

"We...we encountered a group of bandits on our way back to the city. They took us to the deep mountains and forests, and they even wanted to use me to blackmail the Xu family..."

After saying this, Xu Jinwei grabbed Chen Xin'e's hands and said anxiously, "Mother, Xu Jin'en is still in their hands. They said they would only release her if they received 200,000 silver dollars. You should prepare 200,000 silver dollars and go to the shore to ransom her. I'm afraid they will hurt that girl if we are too late."

Chen Xin'e fell into deep thought.

Xu Jin'en has been kidnapped? How could she possibly let such a good opportunity slip by?

Hmph, that girl is at least somewhat pretty. If she fell into the hands of kidnappers tonight, she's probably doomed.

Xiao Huan knelt down in front of Chen Xin'e with a thud.

"Madam, the Fourth Miss was forced to stay to save us. Please, you must rescue her!"

Xiao Huan cried very sadly. She had grown up with her mistress, and in her heart, her mistress was her only family.

If something were to happen to the young lady, she would feel that her life would have no meaning.

Chen Xin'e glanced at Yin Heng out of the corner of her eye.

"I don't know what those bandits will do to Jin'en. She lost her mother at a young age and has just grown up. I originally thought that I could bring her back to the Xu family so that she could live a peaceful life, but I never expected to encounter this kind of change."

Yin Heng's expression was unreadable.

When he heard that Xu Jin'en had fallen into the hands of bandits all alone, he had completely given up on this woman.

With Xu Jin'en's looks, she probably already had her innocence ruined by the robbers.

How could the Yin family possibly accept someone so unclean?

At this moment, Yin Heng felt a secret sense of relief.

Grandpa insisted that he go to Xu Jin'en's place. Now that Xu Jin'en's innocence had been ruined, he had a legitimate excuse to refuse.

Xu Jinwei was not as thoughtful as Chen Xin'e and Yin Heng at this moment.

She urged anxiously, "Mother, let's prepare the money to rescue her first. The sooner we get her out, the less she'll suffer. We were able to escape this time thanks to that girl, so you must rescue her safely."

"Don't worry, Mother will find a way," Chen Xin'e reassured Xu Jinwei.

He secretly scoffed to himself.

I don't know what kind of spell Xu Jin'en has cast on Wei'er, but lately the girl has been particularly biased towards Xu Jin'en.

Haha, two hundred thousand silver dollars to exchange for Xu Jin'en's life?

Does she deserve it?

It would be best if that girl were taken back to the mountain stronghold by those bandits and never appeared in the Xu family again.

"Bi'er, why don't you take the Second Miss back to her room to rest?"

"Yes, Madam!"

"Mother, I don't want to rest. Xu Jin'en hasn't come back yet. I want to wait for her to return."

Xu Jinwei wasn't stupid. She knew that her mother had always hated Xu Jin'en. If it weren't for the Yin family's connection, her mother would never have been able to bring Xu Jin'en back after she was sent to the countryside.

Now that Xu Jin'en is in the hands of bandits, her biggest worry is that her mother will abandon Xu Jin'en.

Seeing her daughter's persistence, Chen Xin'e looked somewhat displeased.

"Wei'er, don't be silly. Young Master Yin and I will discuss how to rescue Jin'en. You can go and rest without worry."

Xu Jinwei looked hesitant.

Chen Xin'e looked at Yin Heng, and Yin Heng immediately understood what Chen Xin'e meant.

"Wei'er, go back and rest first. I'll let you know as soon as I hear any news about Xu Jin'en, okay?"

Xu Jinwei didn't believe Chen Xin'e, but she firmly believed Yin Heng's words.

"Brother Yin Heng, you must rescue Xu Jin'en!"

"I promise I will do my best."

With Bi'er's help, Xu Jinwei returned to her own courtyard.

Chen Xin'e then told Xiao Huan to go back and wait for news.
